Four Elements 🔥 ⛰️ 🌬️ 🌊 Breath (60 min)

In the second verse of the Emerald Tablet of Hermes, it is written: "As above, so below". The physical world follows a rational, beautiful logic, and human beings for some mysterious reason can tune in to it. Even more mysteriously, as the quote from the Hermetic writings suggest, this beautiful logic mirrors the higher dimensions of consciousness. And this echo is one key we can use to unlock access to unified consciousness. The 'beautiful logic' explored in this meditation is that of the four elements that constitute the building blocks of the physical world. In this meditation you will learn how to tune in to the harmony underlying these building blocks of reality. And by synching up with the harmony of the sacred number four, you have the possibility of transcending numbers, the elements and physical reality altogether, opening the gateway to all the power of the universe flowing effortlessly through your human form.

The Power of Positivity 🌱🌼 (60 min)

A wise master once explained to me that the secret to a happy life was simply to let go of all negative or limiting thoughts or emotions. If you can do that all you have to do is sit back and watch your good arrive. 'Why does it work, what is the foundation, what is the key?', I asked him. "The key is that there is already an underlying perfection. By letting go of all negative or limiting thoughts you get out of the way and allow that perfection to manifest unimpeded." A cynic might say we are simply tricking our brain to believe something that isn’t true. But if it works, does it matter? Try it out and decide for yourself. Hosted on Acast.

Heart Mirrors Sky 💖🌈(60 min)

Throughout mystical traditions the world over the heart and heart center have been understood to be a gateway of sorts to Truth. The wisdom one needs in order to discover the secrets of Illumination (or, to use the old phrase: "to know God") can be found in our heart energy. But these secrets can only be attained by lifting the dark curtain of ignorance that covers the mirror we call our heart. We lift the curtain and we polish this mirror. Then the hidden treasures of divine beauty and love can begin reflecting these secrets out into our life in the physical domain. This guided meditation helps translate this precious insight into practice. Hosted on Acast.

Awakening & Healing Your Body & Soul (30 min)

One of our superpowers is our ability to direct our attention. Whether we do so consciously or not, we have the power to move our awareness to a place of our choosing. Yet most of us spend our entire lives unconscious of this power and therefore use it only sparingly. But, with practice, it can be developed and strengthened. With practice we can learn to use this power to relax and heal the body, unlock long buried traumas, and even release long-held karma. When we do this, we awaken to the fullest and best experiences life has to offer. This guided meditation helps you develop this superpower. Hosted on Acast.
